  • Trip to Ipari

    Ipari (იფარი) is found on the way from the Becho valley to Ushguli and consists of several smaller villages that are almost placed on top of each other. Ipari houses one of Svaneti’s most astonishing churches and there will be plenty of time to study this both from outside and inside. The outside walls show how pre-Christian traditions were incorporated in church buildings in Svaneti. The wall paintings inside are breathtaking. If there is a possibility there might be a chance to see the monk who lives in Ipari. One of his tasks is to organise services in Ipari and the villages around. There will also be plenty of time to stroll around in the villages on your own before it is time for lunch and return travel to the hotel.
